Eversley Flat Roof Survey
Not sure what state the flat roof is in? You can book a flat roof survey in Eversley and across Wokingham.
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Outlets that hold water back
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Book a survey every few years
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on what we found.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
About our flat roof survey in Eversley
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. Where the deck may be a structural issue, our report says a structural engineer should look at it. If you’re worried about raised blisters across the surface and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Eversley, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Eversley
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. In a place like Eversley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Why us?

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Eversley
Is Eversley in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Eversley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Eversley?
Yes. Eversley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause can’t be seen, we will say so and suggest what would help.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. Not sure what yours is? We will tell you in the report.
Roof by roof
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
Felt and built-up roofs
Built-up felt is one of the most common flat roof coverings on extensions, garages and dormers. We look for blistering, cracking, split laps and worn mineral surfacing.

Common roof problems in Eversley
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Owners and managing agents use a survey to plan upkeep, or ahead of a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
Common reasons to book include:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Loose or cracked edge trims
Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How soon the report will arrive
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Eversley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book

Flat roof surveys in Eversley: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Stratfield Saye House about 4.7 miles west, Eversley sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
